Description

Richard and Silvia Tebrick’s married life takes a dramatic turn when Silvia is inexplicably transformed into a fox.

Grappling with bewilderment and sorrow, Richard must face the reality that his wife, while retaining her memories and personality, is trapped in the body of a wild animal.

Richard attempts to care for Silvia in her new form while navigating the challenges of their unconventional relationship… including her instincts as a fox and their implications on love and fidelity.

David “Bunny” Garnett was a prominent member of the Bloomsbury Group. He received literary recognition with Lady into Fox and was awarded the 1922 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction.

He ran a bookshop near the British Museum with Francis Birrell and, with Francis Meynell, founded Nonesuch Press. His other books include Dope Darling and Aspects of Love, the latter of which became a West End musical. He died in 1981.
